I used TIP Tools diagram as a guide to my plumbing and am very happy with
it. My compressor (Quincy 2-stage 5 hp) is about 20' from my shop on a
small slap attached to my building. I built a vented enclosure for it so it
is protected and my space is quiet. I used 3/4" metal pipe but would
probably use soldered copper in the future. I just get too many leaks with
steal pipe.
